School Detection & Deterrence Programs.

Our comprehensive detection and deterrence program reduces the presence of drugs, alcoholic beverages, abused medications and weapons on campus and school grounds. We accomplish this through the use of highly trained detection canines. Beyond our dogs, we also employ the use of metal detection wands and breathalyzers.

​

Our program is successful because we:

• Have developed school procedures in keeping with legal precedents

• Inspect Restrooms

• Provide a tool for substance abuse prevention

• Send a message to students, parents and the community that your school has initiated a proactive position regarding the presence of prohibited items

• Eliminate the need to “lock down” a campus, thereby minimizing the interruption of the educational process

​

HOW OUR PROGRAM WORKS

We provide random, unannounced visits. We work closely with each client to determine the appropriate number of visits to provide the greatest benefit.  No school is too small nor too large for us to accommodate. At each site, a designated coordinator may escort the canine teams and observe the inspection activities. We typically inspect lockers, gym areas, common areas, vehicles, vacated classrooms, and perimeters of school property.

​

For schools that are unfamiliar with the use of dogs, we:

• Assist in the development of policy

• Provide legal briefs on the use of dogs in schools

• Develop a communications program for students, faculty, administrators, parents, and the community

​

For schools that are familiar with the use of dogs, we:

• Assess the existing program

• Offer suggestions

• Develop an effective transition program

As a private agency, we provide service to your locations without the same challenges and limitations faced by law enforcement agencies.

​

In the event contraband is found, our representatives will collect, inventory and seal any evidence, and sign it over to the coordinator. Further action is determined by the accompanying coordinator. As a private agency, we provide service to your locations without the challenges and limitations faced when law enforcement officers are present.
